DEDICATION
We, the class of 1948, dedicate this yearbook,
as we dedicate ourselves, to the new generation.
PRESIDENT'S 0IESSH6E
TO THE CLASS OF 1948:
TZOU entered college when the great war was about to end in victory. Peace
A came and with it the short years of readjustment. You are leaving when the
issues of war or peace are again unsettled and when the purposes for which we
fought are again in jeopardy. Whether there be war or peace, our country needs
men and women who can teach. Our civilization can not survive unless all
peoples learn from teachers with knowledge and wisdom and the courage of
high convictions, and with a faith that the issues of life are in the mind and spirit
and not in the power derived from possession of material things.
May your lives be rich in the happiness which is the possession of those who
wisely learn and teach.
MR. BOWMAN

MISS ELIZABETH M. JENKINS
In September, 1924, Miss Jenkins began her work
here as Head of the Extension Department. Soon
after that she became Supervisor of Rural Education.
Her next duty was that of Director of Methods. Her
work brought her into a very close relationship with
the entire college family, who loved and respected her.
When she left in October, 1947, she was Dean of
Women.
MRS. DOROTHY HOGARTH BROUDY
Mrs. Broudy came to us, in 1943, from the office
of Hyannis State Teachers College. During her stay
here she had been most kind and helpful to both the
faculty and the students. She left in March, 1948.

SEMOR CAP and GOHJI1 DM SPEECH
TATE, the graduating class of '48, with the hesitation of the untried, accept
these academic caps and gowns as symbols of the four years we have spent
here in preparation for teaching. We accept them, also, as symbolic of our whole-
hearted willingness to teach. But we cannot, yet, accept them as symbols of our
teaching ability. The new generation will serve as either proud or poor testimony
to our teaching ability. The new generation will be much more accurate a judge
than anything that could be summoned here to judge us today.
Those who take an interest in our college always hold out the hope that the
members of each graduating class will turn out to be thinking-doers. We cannot
assure you of that dream but we can, with much certainty, assure you that the
principles and methods to which we have been conditioned here will be govern-
ing factors in most of the responses that we shall make to the stimuli of life.
With trust in the system that has been our master in our bachelor days and with
faith in the ideals that carry us upward and on, we hope to be, not only, thinking
educated people, but also, active educators.
Rolland W. Jones

SfOIOR CLASS HISTORy
KARL MARX saw history in terms of a class struggle. We might reword his
comment to rather accurately describe ourselves; our class history has also
been that of a struggle. Nor is the writing of our chronicle an easy matter. Four
years of "rich and varied, shared experience" are not quickly condensed into a
short essay by one member of the class.
The task of noting the incidents and slogans that are part of our college life
without becoming so clannish that others won't know what we are talking about
is rather difficult. Bosnia-Herzego-vina, "Verweile dock! Du bist so schon", the
solid citizen, the shovel philosophy, "Be brave, begin" — These are all bywords with
us because they symbolize experiences we have had together just as the same kind
of words do for any group of friends. But to the uninitiated, they are "insig-
nificant speech" — to use another quote the Seniors like.
If an impressionistic write-up of our memories won't do for the yearbook, shall
we try to be witty and factual at the same time? Something like:
"Our junior year found us in the Training School trying to discover
the elusive distinctions between appreciations and understandings and
repeating Dewey's two criteria — quickly, now, what are they?"
It can be seen that this sort of thing has been done too often to be particularly
original with us.
Shall we then attempt a little satire on progressive philosophers' pedaguese?
Taking a paragraph from Mursell, we could remark that our college careers have
been "vital learning experiences in which we dynamically and strongly interacted"
and which have engaged "our interest, will, and active purpose."
28
This gives a rather one-sided picture of our development, however. We would
not want you to think of us as intellectuals who are socially immature. Well, to
show that we are integrated, we could list the many extracurricular activities and
social events we have sponsored. Besides our boast of "Miss Ballerina", consider
our participation in the Current Events club, "The Doctor in Spite of Himself",
Honor Society, Glee Club, Taconic Columns, Who's Who, House and Student
Council, New York Conferences, lectures, proms, socials, dinners. But the
reader can see these statistics beneath our class pictures.
Perhaps, philosophers that we are, we should show how our search for the
absolutes has resulted in a well-arranged value scheme or that family life can be
beautiful, even if Plato didn't think so.
There is one more serious approach we might adopt. During the academic
years 1944-1948 there occurred events of world importance which we have
observed together. When we have forgotten, perhaps, just what our slogans and
watchwords meant, we shall still recall that Franklin Roosevelt died when we
were in college, that the Marines raised a flag on Suribachi, and that we left the
campus one spring noontime to see VE-Day celebrated. We were at STC when
modern man became obsolete, when Ghandi was assassinated, when Europe
starved, and when a third war threatened. We realize that there is much to be
done in the world, and that we as educators have a formidable challenge to meet.
All these things come to our minds as we think of our class history. For us,
they evoke images of four years together — not always serene, not always satisfied,
but things we shall remember with a smile when textbooks are forgotten and we
are alumni to some other young and fortunate senior class. Underclassmen,
will you remember us?

CLASS HISTORy
HERE we are back in '47 — the same class — a new year — and one man lost.
Yes, he and our class president took the fatal step, giving the Juniors their
first married couple.
We walked in — looked at our schedule — and grinned from ear to ear!
Three subjects! ! ! Two minutes later our grins descended to our toes — Methods
courses had to be added; nine more hours chalked up against us. So began our
hourly tramp across the grass to the training school; that is, until Dr. Mileham
pointed out the use of the driveway.
We trained for weeks ! !
One and one makes two, Jimmy please sit down,
Doris pass your paper in, Our heads spun round
and round.
Our progress might have been quite slow,
But we traveled many miles.
And though you heard us griping,
We did have frequent smiles.
In October we were saddened by Miss Jenkins' resignation, but Miss Durnin's
presence soon spurred us on to further gain.
First semester departed and the blue books came marching by — trampling the
Juniors on their way. One Junior withstood the bombardment with enough
stamina to make the honor list. The rest of us withstood them with enough
stamina to remain in school.
With no childish faces before us, we entered second semester with mountains
of work to overcome. It's a good thing the Juniors have a strong constitution.
Soon after second semester began, we lost our president and were forced to
rely on the abilities of our vice-president. We miss Faith and wish her lots of
luck in her new venture.
Did you notice the worried look on the Juniors' faces in March, the various
meetings, the whispered planning? No wonder! They were getting ready to
hold the Junior-Senior prom. No need for worry; the affair gave the Seniors a
grand send-off to a new and successful career.
The home stretch is in shooting distance. Eagerly we await the September
starting gun to race down the last mile together.
33
CLASS WILL
WE, the Juniors of '48
With no intent to intimidate,
Bequeath and bequest to the Sophomore Class
"Desirable outcomes" and how to pass.
Not that we think you won't know how,
But we are more experienced than thou!
And so we stress a "double rule",
The second being the Training School.
It will notably contrast your former beat,
But teachers are kind and children sweet,
And the only thing you have to do
Is rack your brain to please the two.
It's really a program exempt from toil,
Preparations grow clear with the midnight oil.
Remember: examples from you shall come,
So don't teach a lesson while chewing gum.
You'll find little memory work at all,
Just Burton, Dewey, G. Stanley Hall,
O'er theory you can gain full sway
In any spare twelve hours a day.
So carry on with this your lot,
More "context" would reveal the plot.
All this we give and vouch it can
Be used for any lesson plan.
34
CLASS PROPHECy
GOOD DAY, Ladies and Gentlemen, this is yours truly, once again bringing to
you a fragment of forgotten drama. Today, as we lift that thin veil of destiny
that hides men and women, we see a group of teachers working: some in a little
red school house; some, principals; some, teaching in high schools; and some
pursuing that wonderful profession of motherhood. Turning back the pages of
time we come to a scene in a small community where a group of students are seen
trudging into a yellow building. First was the difficult task of meeting each other
and getting adjusted to one another. Friendships were born, pal aiding pal in
exams. The next year saw these friendships cementing. A few students left for
other jobs. The third year found another school, Mark Hopkins, being added.
People laughed, kidded, envied, and respected these groups of students who were
showing the world that they could make good; undaunted this group carried on.
At last it came: the year of 1949
Now, before the conclusion of our story, a word from one of the group: "We
have shown a world, torn by strife, that the torch of freedom still burns. It is
through the youth of America that we can make Democracy a living institution
so that regardless of what others may say, democracy can and will survive. We
will teach our children and our children's children that even though they dis-
agree with others they must respect the opinions of others, thus insuring a living
form of government, and showing the world that a democracy is the best form of
government for America."
Now, back to our story: 1949 saw this courageous group completing their
training and receiving their degrees. Some went on to become famous; others
received no notice but each went forth with the feeling that this country is a mighty
fine place to live. This is yours truly, drawing together that thin veil of destiny
and, until next time, saying good day.

CLASS HISTOfiy
FEWER in number but just as strong in spirit, we worldlywise sophomores
returned once more to S.T.C. We started off right by taking Greylock in our
stride. Then before we were back long, a catastrophe befell the girls of our
class. Four of our men were taken off the eligible list. Leap year, is it? Al-
though we had quite a struggle with some of our new subjects such as Psychology,
Global and Economic Geography, and Government, we enjoyed seeing hidden
"talents" creep out in our Art and Speech courses. The Sadie Hawkins Dance
again went off with a "bang", and the success of our Sophomore Prom was due
to the willing cooperation of the members of our class. We also made a good
showing in the Drama Club production, "Kind Lady"; eight out of the thirteen
members of the cast were Sophomores. Among us, too, are a few athletes who
show up on the basketball floor.
Somehow we have managed to survive the 3-hour exams and the annual
sophomore tests and have now reached the half-way mark. Two whole years
packed with memories lie behind us, and two years, uncertain, unknown, lie
ahead. But we are looking forward to the time when we will be known as the
"jolly, jolly Juniors" and no longer as "silly Sophomores."

TRIBUTE
TO OUR CLASS ADVISERS
THE CLASS of '51 has been most fortunate in receiving the splendid coopera-
tion of two of the most helpful members of the faculty: Mr. Flagg, dean of
men, and Miss Weston, dean of women, who has most capably succeeded Miss
Jenkins. These two professors have been the inspiration needed to stimulate
the activities and ambitions of the freshman class. Their fine assistance and
guidance have certainly been great factors in effecting the success of various social
events. Their untiring efforts will always be remembered by the entire student
body. The Class of '51 has not only realized the significance of college social
gatherings, but has refurbished their conception of cooperation to include true
benevolence.
More power to you, Miss Weston and Mr. Flagg! The students need you and
most certainly appreciate your excellent support.

FfiESHfTlfln CLASS HISTORy
ON A clear, cool, crisp Monday morning, the fifteenth of September, to be
exact, eighty-four eager and ambitious freshmen climbed the Church Street
Hill to enter STC. A variety of people coming from all parts of the state compris-
ed the student body. Some fresh from high school, some fresh from the service,
some fresh. . . .
We owe a debt of gratitude to the Student Council, which sponsored the
Freshman Reception to enable us to become better acquainted with our fellow
students.
According to tradition, we also made the annual expedition to Greylock.
Need we say more? We had the usual ailments that accompany this memorable
trip: aches, pains, and blisters.
Now as we were an organization, we had to function as one; therefore we
required class officers. After a lively and hotly contested campaign, the follow-
ing officers were selected: president, Chet Pawlowski; vice-president, Jim Glavin;
treasurer, Shirley Tillbrook; secretary, Kathleen Coty.
The freshman class played host to the rest of the student body at the Freshman
Hop. This will long be remembered by the entire college as one of the most
successful social undertakings of the year.
Following our Christmas vacation, we returned to school and found ourselves
confronted by term papers and finals. After successfully completing these two
hurdles we classified ourselves as true college veterans, realizing that school was
not all play.
When we returned for the second semester, prepared to resume our studies,
we found that some new members had joined our ranks. They were made to
feel at home and participated with the rest in the numerous social events which
the second semester held. The Saint Patrick's Day Party, the Mardi Gras, and
the Junior-Senior Prom are but a few of the affairs that will serve as milestones in
our collegiate lives.
With the Easter vacation, term papers, and final exams, our freshman year
terminated; but with it many friendships were made, and the social events that
took place that will be cherished by all of us in years to come.
44
fRESMn CLASS WILL
WE, the Class of '51
Who've shared a year of work and fun,
Do hereby leave the coming students
An air of nonchalance and prudence.
To the incoming freshmen we gladly leave
The will to pursue and to achieve,
The goal of perfection so easily missed
Only gained by those who persist.
If in trouble or in doubt,
Just ask the one you see about
The halls of NASTC.
Your answer will be, "Follow me".
Now that we've shown you what to gain
From serious thought we will refrain.
Through mistakes we've come to know
What is right and what won't go.
So they may still keep fit and trim
We'll leave the fellows our spacious gym.
To the gals we'll leave our chorus
Just to prove it didn't bore us.
Cutting classes with gay abandon.
My, the trouble you can land in!
Though this advice is given dearly,
What is given is given sincerely.
45
CLASS PfiOPHfCy
HE WHO dares prophecy the future must inevitably reckon with the past.
Formidable scholastic obstacles have been encountered and overcome with
varying degrees of success. A veritable tidal aftermath of grim, psychological
proportions has literally inundated the senses of normal-minded sheep-skin
aspirants; so much so, that these well-meaning souls have, in the process of critical
analysis, been forced to delve into serious introspection, circumspection, retro-
spection, "solar spectrums" and Lucretius' "Of The Nature of Things" for possible
clues of cause and effect. . . .
. . .We prophecy that the school term, 1948-1949, will see the formation of a
unique academic association for the advancement of freshman class averages.
It is believed that such a plan might foster all of those sterling qualities in students
which the faculty deem scholarly attributes. The birth of such an organization
might prove to be the general panacea and the specific "elixir" by which the be-
labored freshmen would be relieved from academic oppression and anxiety and
secure a normal "nitrogen-balance." It will be a medium wherein intellectual
grievances and woes immedicable will dissolve as spring snows to give percepti-
ble rise to a fresh, heart-lifting, educational outlook.
The well-deliberated scheme, then, is the formation of a "1.5 club" calculated
to raise to a "common standard" and reduce to a common denominator all ac-
ademic achievement and thus, with one bold sweep, to remove forever the bane of
"scholastic autocracy." (Eligibility is limited only to the candidate's acquisition
of liberal marks, in any subject, not exceeding that after which the club is named.)
This newly found "1.5 proletariat" (whiih should comprise a substantial pro-
portion of the student body) will, in this invigorating "tension-free" atmosphere,
be able to assume their collegiate duties without the constant spectre of the sword
of Damocles hanging o'er their heads. A period of enlightenment must assuredly
ensue, granting grace and courage to disillusioned students.
And, — anon, — the light shone through, — " 'Twas but a dream," I said to
myself; or perhaps a touch of spring had worked its magic upon my fancy. The
prophecy had faded from view but we who have caught wisps of its trailing vapors
may find in the revelation some measure of wise comfort.
